Profile

Hello, I’m Ronny Waburek – a media professional working at the intersection of journalism, design and digital communication. I focus on creating content that is clear, structured and relevant, combining editorial thinking with visual precision.

My work spans print and digital formats, from concept and writing to layout and implementation. I’m particularly interested in how content, design and structure come together to make complex topics accessible and engaging.

Since 2026, I have been working in communications for the Bavarian Red Cross (BRK), developing content and communication formats across different channels.

Alongside this, I am developing furnomics, an independent platform focused on the international contract and interior market — connecting projects, companies and ideas that shape contemporary spaces.

• Since 03/2026 – Founder & Editor, furnomics
  Development and operation of a curated platform covering the international contract and interior market, with a focus on projects, companies and industry developments.
• Since 01/2026 – Communications, Bavarian Red Cross (BRK), Garmisch-Partenkirchen
  Responsible for public relations, content development and communication projects across print and digital formats.
• 10/2020 – 12/2025 – Editor (Projects), INSIDE Verlag, Munich
  I’m involved in various tasks – mostly editorial, occasionally design-related, and often juggling multiple print and digital projects. From concept to production, I take care of almost everything. And if a web layout needs to be done before lunch, it usually is.
• 08/2019 – 10/2020 – Editorial & Communication, KuechenAtlas
  A short but rich chapter. I co-developed content, structured the website, and worked on building a stronger network for the platform.
• 11/2015 – 08/2019 – Editor, INSIDE Verlag, Munich
  My first INSIDE round: networking, research, interviews, writing – and sometimes all at once. Basically everything journalistic, except making coffee (although I knew how to do that too).
• 11/2012 – 10/2015 – Editorial Lead, Ritthammer Verlag, Nuremberg
  I led the editorial development of "Küche & Bad Forum". I created topics, wrote, designed layouts, and ensured everything made it to print on time. I also managed cross-departmental collaboration and optimized workflows. One of my bigger projects: the magazine’s relaunch.
• 10/2008 – 10/2012 – Editor, MÖBELMARKT international
  Interviews, articles, and occasional photo shoot coordination. I helped produce content for the furniture industry and contributed to the magazine’s visual design. It was my school of multitasking – and travel planning.
• 05/2008 – 09/2008 – Online Editor, Ranaro GmbH, Nuremberg
  Short texts, punchy headlines, and a first deep dive into digital publishing. I worked on SEO-relevant content and gained experience with CMS workflows.
• 05/2007 – 05/2008 – Editorial Trainee, Bildung & Wissen Verlag, Nuremberg
  The official training phase. I learned the basics of editorial work: writing, editing, proofreading, and coordinating projects. Also, how to keep calm under pressure – still useful today.
• 03/2007 – 04/2007 – Intern, Tessloff Verlag, Nuremberg
  A brief insight into online and image editing. My first contact with editorial CMS systems.

• Dalhousie University, Halifax (Canada) – Master of Arts, Media Analysis & Cultural Theory
  Graduated with distinction (A+). Funded by a scholarship. Learned how to read media critically – and how to survive Canadian winters.
• Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg – Magister Artium in German Literature, Linguistics & Musicology
  A solid academic foundation in text and tone. Helped me develop a strong sense for linguistic detail – quite useful when writing.
• Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium, Kaiserslautern – General Higher Education Entrance Qualification
  Main subjects: German and Mathematics. That’s where I learned that language and logic can, in fact, go hand in hand.

• Adobe Creative Cloud: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
• Editorial design, layout and typography
• Image editing & retouching
• Web development with Joomla & YOOtheme
• Video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro (basic)
• MS Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint

• German (native)
• English (very good – C1)

I love to design – whether it's editorial layouts, infographics, or fine-tuning typography. I’m known for my structured approach, technical versatility, and strong visual sense. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, and swimming. I find balance in drawing or playing violin and piano. I value nature and clarity – both professionally and personally.

Reliable, precise, and quietly creative – that’s how I approach every project. And if things need to move fast? I usually have a plan.
